Hey Errol I remember you Form 2 Devon Int. So sad to hear of your passing and Suzy whom I went to Westown with. You both should be having a relaxing retirement now ......

Very sad to learn of Errols passing. I spent alot of time working with, and mainly geeking out with, Errol in the 00's. Errol was such a fountain of knowledge for all that knew him, and was always sharing. Always helping someone out, always fixing something. Always looking out for others, always caring. Such an immesurable loss for all; family and community. You will be remembered, Errol - a special soul.

Sorry to hear of Errol´s death. We went to school at Spotswood College and in later years he helped me repair the "unrepairable". Such a clever man with huge technical skill. He will be sorely missed.

Very very sad news. Errol Barnes, super clever man and top bloke. Always enjoyed our chats in the shed and continually amazed how he knew exactly where to find things in that super busy Scott Street workshop. Kia Kaha extended Barnes Family

Sending lots of love Matthew and the extended family. It is was such a priviledge to be involved with and care for Suzy, Errol, Matthew and Steven over many years. Amazingly strong and kind family who faced challenging times too many times.

Errol was a true friend. Particularly in those times that something electric needed urgent attention. He was always busy but always made the time to help. He was brilliant in repairing all things electrical. I remember the time he even made a mobility scooter work again when nobody else could. He told me that he woke up in the middle of the night and recalled that he had a surplus part from a camera that would do the job. Errol was gifted. He will be sadly missed by all those that knew him. So pleased we shared an afternoon together with Errol and Suzie before we moved away from New Plymouth. Our sincere condolences to Matthew and his extended family. Roland and Linda.
